Ready

"Ready" is the proof that Bollywood can never go beyond starstruck audiences, loud and unnecessary irrational songs, weak- ludicrous and farcical story , slapstick humor for Whistle-blower's rejoice, pee-break and ensemble casts.

Salman Khan was just being himself. Paresh Rawal did what he couldn't do in Hera Pheri. Asin was a waste. Rest casts were just for some ludicrous jokes. Zarine Khan was good enough for just a song.This movie was not a complete laughter riot, but very foolish in between. Avoidable.

Ready has no story basically! Directed by Anees Bazmee(who directed abysmal comedies such as No Problem and Thank You) does a better job this time.

The film's highlight is Salman Khan,without doubt.He is the soul of the movie.

Talking about the comedy,the film offers kitsch comedy.

The story is average.

The music is ordinary barring "Dhinka Chika" and "Character Dheela".

Performance wise.Salman Khan is the soul of this movie.He simply rocks!Asin is dull.Paresh Rawal is superb!Suedesh Lehri(Comedy Circus Fame) is another comedian to watch out.He is excellent.

Ready boasts of many supporting characters,but the ones who stand out are Mahesh Manjrekar,Manoj Joshi,Manoj Pahwa,Sharat Saxena and Akhilendra Mishra. None of the ladies work.Arya Babbar is wasted.Ready also has two characters named after Salman's two flop movies Veer and Yuvraj,who are bad.Puneet Issar is okay.Hemant Pandey is plain Ready has several guest appearances out which Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgn work.Zarine Khan sizzles in Character Dheela.Kangna Ranaut needs to improve her dialog delivery.Arabaaz Khan is ordinary.Chunkey Pandey is average.

On the whole Ready is Salman's show.Watch it if you worship him!

Salman is undoubtedly the biggest star in Indian cinema currently. His screen presence is godly that makes movies like Ready an entertainer.

Ready doesn't boast of storyline, which was pretty obvious from the trailers itself. Just go in there with your brain handed over to someone responsible at home and trust me you will have a gala time during the movie.

As was the case with Dabangg, this one is again all Salman. With Asin playing her part beautifully wearing that gorgeous smile, the movie is entertaining, captivating and has numerous moments which will tickle the funny bone in you. Though some scenes projected cheap attempts at comedy, the movie did have some hilariously funny dialogs as well. The background score was good, considering the theme of the movie and the songs were amazing. Especially, "Dhinka Chika" is enjoyable and has peppy tunes to get you into the groove.

For all the directors and producers out there, please don't overdo the 'Only Salman and no Storyline Genre', as it does seem to provide entertainment throughout but it might not be the wise choice in the long run.

A must watch for all Salman fans and definitely a one-timer for all the others.

Yes, the film has it's funny moments. Some scenery shots are beautiful. If you speak Hindi, you will appreciate the language jokes. What I was shocked about though is the racism in this film. What we are used from Bollywood films is that fair skinned people are the good and pretty ones and dark skinned ones are the bad ones. Here, we even have European girls as background dancers to make it prettier, and real African guys in the beat-up gang to make it look more evil. The scene I walked out on is when someone walks up to a black hotel employee and tell's him "Who are you? Look at yourself. You're so black, that if they'd put you on national TV the entire country's evil will be taken out".

Indian cinema is at a crossroad of modernization whereby new breed of directors is taking Indian cinema into world platform. With big stars like Aamir Khan moving into meaningful cinema it is sad that few stars are coming in between development. Yeah I agree there are different genre of films which caters to different taste but there is a thin line between commercial and tasteless. While Dabang had something new to offer in terms of execution thanks to abhinav Singh Kashyap, Ready relies on orthodox potboilers which are on the verge of obsolescence. Ready has an wafer thin hackneyed story line which begins with rich spoil brat Salman Khan (as Prem) whose profession was probably "helping people" . and like any "unique" story he falls in love with beautiful Asin (as Sanjana) but wait like any original love story there is a twist in this tale. There are evil cha-chas eyeing for Sanjana's wealth and Prem goes on to save his lady love. In the meantime there is moral gyans of perfect families and all expected possibilities in an Hindi film from the 80s. It is sad that Aneez Bazmee scripted (rather remade) such a boring script only to cash in Salman's star status and sadly the film might become the biggest grosser of all time decelerating Indian cinema to the backwardness from which movies like Satya,Dil Chahta Hai,Dev D and lots of young directors did their best to change the notion of Indian cinema. The film trying to be a supposed family entertainer is full of double innuendos and toilet humour. In a particular scene a guy runs and in the motion farts out loudly.Can this be termed as a comedy ? or sample this one a boy pisses on the mouth of a goon. The scenes had nothing wacky in execution and it seems tasteless to me. Well least said about Aneez Bazmee is better with movies like No problem, thank you and now Ready he is epitome of mockery of cinema. Salman Khan as usual repeats himself and he was nowhere near his earlier Chulbul Pandey act which had freshness in it. Instead Prem is a typical rich brat with a heart of gold, a character types which has been repeated since time immemorial. Asin is expressionless at her best. The supporting cast involves some of the big names of the industry like Paresh Rawal,Mahesh Manjrekar,Sharad Saxena,Akhilendra Mishra,Manoj Pahwa and credit should be given to Bazmee for bringing out loud performances from otherwise natural comedians.

When the Indian film industry started churning quality cinema it is indeed sad to see few stars helping directors to go back to medieval age of meaningless films. Ready will be blockbuster but then this film marks the backward journey of Indian cinema for sure. Till star adoration is there no one can improve quality of Indian cinema.
